Timestamps before Unix Epoch: is this a Git or a Github limitation? #22

Closed julien-c closed 9 years ago

julien-c commented 9 years ago

Hey @steeve,

Commits before Jan. 1 1970 are capped at that date. Is this a Git limitation (will be hard to fix) or a Github frontend one? (could be fixed easily)

Cheers!

As said here :

Note technique

Les dates Git étant basées sur l'epoch Unix (01/01/1970), les changements avant cette date sont tous datés au 01/01/1970, avec secondes incrémentales; Le message du commit donne la vraie date.

It's a Git limitation.

I see, thanks!
